| 310046 | 2005-01-04 04:03:00 | the monitor wont work when its on either the onboard or the AGP/PCI | DjReynolds3 (6759) | ||
| 310047 | 2005-01-04 04:18:00 | Did u remove the soundcard as well?? While testing with just onboard video and then the other videocard?? Are you getting any beeps when u turn the system on?? Or does anything come on when u turn the system on? If nothing is going at all, you havent plugged something like the CPU fan in, or connected the 4 pin molex power on the mobo to power. (if the mobo has this connection). |

| 310048 | 2005-01-04 04:21:00 | The 4 Pin Molex is in. The CPU fan is in. No Beeps, Fans come on lights come on, I just sent an email to the company requesting my full refund. This computer is waisting my time. | DjReynolds3 (6759) | ||
| 310049 | 2005-01-04 09:07:00 | Hopefully they won't notice the small S of thermal paste on the CPU . You need to apply a very thin (less than one millimetre) film of paste over the entire contact surface . Have you read the motherboard, CPU intallation, video and audio card manuals? Have you tried a different monitor, what sort of monitor is it, what type of connection does it take, if multiple type (analogue or digital), does it detect this automatically? Have you tried a different PSU (if you have 230V at your wall power outlet do not run the PSU at 110V) . Did you change/reset any motherboard jimpers or dip switches? Disconnect all unnecessary cards, monitor, HDD, etc, remove and reconnect any power connectors including those to the CPU fan (make sure they are not forced in the wrong way around, fire it up . Do you get POST beeps (a good POST will beep once, assuming your onboard video is enabled)? Read the motherboard manual, especially the sections on installing RAM, Video and Audio . Re-connect those parts essential to get a good graphical boot (again assuming onboard video is enabled, leave out the video and audio cards) . What happens now? Don't force anything, the only things that sometimes require a bit of muscle are the clips . Bent pins result in (apparently) dead machines . |

| 310050 | 2005-01-05 02:32:00 | well guys... i have fixed it. The mobo was shorting out on the case...*no spacers*. And the power supply MUST be on at 115 V. It wont run the monitor on 230. Its only a 120 V power supply from my wall =). but i got it now, but im not getting power to my CD player...=0 | DjReynolds3 (6759) | ||
| 310051 | 2005-01-05 02:57:00 | Well either check that the power plug is going to the cd. Or do something about your power supply. It's most probably fried half of something, since it was shorting. And u cant use 230v. You're lucky it didnt kill the videocard or both of them. It's probably not enough power to power everything. |

| 310052 | 2005-01-05 03:04:00 | If the PSU works only on the 110 selection, it is faulty . STOP USING IT . Buy another one, or if you bought it new, get it replaced under guarantee . I am surprised it hasn't blown up, but most of the high voltage parts will probably be running well over their ratings . (This is oversimplified, but I'm not going to encourage you to repair the mains side of a PSU . :D . ) |

| 310054 | 2005-01-05 04:19:00 | well i got the CD drive running. It just started working. It was like it took a second to kick in or something. i will get a new PSU. Sorry for the trouble guys, i feel like a jackass now. | DjReynolds3 (6759) | ||
